It features none other than scream queen Jenna Ortega, stepping into yet another iconic role in the realm of cult-classic gothic fantasy films. The 21-year-old actress has reunited with her Wednesday producer and the visionary director Tim Burton for the much-anticipated sequel to his 80s blockbuster Beetlejuice – a sequel nearly three decades in the making.

Ortega, known for her captivating performances, is no stranger to collaborating with Burton. Fans will recall their successful partnership in the popular first season of Netflix‘s Wednesday, where Ortega mesmerized audiences with her portrayal of the gothic darling Wednesday Addams. Her dedication to the role, which involved learning to fence, play cello, and speak German, earned her Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award nominations. With such accolades under their belt, the prospect of Ortega and Burton reuniting is nothing short of exhilarating.

But wait, there’s more! Ortega is confirmed to play the daughter of the original film’s iconic teenager Lydia Deetz, portrayed by the talented Winona Ryder. Ryder herself is set to reprise her unforgettable role, alongside Michael Keaton, who will once again bring the titular ghoul Beetlejuice to life. In fact, Burton expressed that a sequel wouldn’t be considered without Keaton’s involvement.

Joining Ortega, Ryder, and Keaton are an ensemble cast of distinguished actors, including Catherine O’Hara as Delia, Justin Theroux as Rory, and the exciting additions of Monica Bellucci, Arthur Conti, and Willem Dafoe. With such a stellar lineup, Beetlejuice 2 promises to be a gothic film lover’s dream come true.

So, what’s the plot? The long-awaited sequel follows three generations of the Deetz family as they return home to Winter River following a tragic event. When Lydia’s teenage daughter begins stirring up paranormal trouble, it’s only a matter of time before Beetlejuice reappears to wreak havoc once again.

Adding Beetlejuice to her repertoire solidifies Ortega’s reputation as a rising star in the macabre realm. From her chilling performances in the latest installment of the Scream franchise to her role in A24’s slasher X, Ortega continues to captivate audiences with her versatility and talent.

But that’s not all! Ortega is set to return for a second season of Wednesday with Netflix, has been named an ambassador for Dior Beauty’s Gris Dior fragrance, and has an exciting film project with The Weeknd on the horizon.

Mark your calendars because Beetlejuice 2 will hit theaters on September 6, 2024. Get ready for a hauntingly good time!
